    This is ending badly for me
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I must say: you guys are pretty good pickers; picking 9 or 10 out of 13 would make you money in Vegas (or in my other, co-workers pool).

    Did anyone actually see the Detroit game? It wasn't broadcast here. Were thay any good, at all - or just dumb luck? I admit my heart sank as I watched the score stay at, what?, 10-3 for what seemed forever.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    As I said before, the Cowboys just aren't disciplined enough to win it this year. Romo holds on to the ball too long, and then not at all when he gets hit (which was a lot). That was a sad display of football on both sides, until the 4th quarter when the teams decided to actually play.

    I think, for the good of the country, the networks will not be showing any Detroit football until the turkey day game. With the current economic crisis, we don't need to be subjected to that.

    I fear you are right. I was dismayed watching the game. All my teams had such promise at the beginning. Heres to the New York Football Giants please win so Strike can break .500...please! My hat is of to Matork and Makaikahaan good picks those two and if Clevland pulls it out tonight Mak will be the winner out right and will go 11-2, damn.

    Holy crap! I didn't realize I'd done that well.

    There were a few games where I knew I was sticking my neck out, such as going with Jacksonville over Denver. Of course, I also had picks like Miami over Houston that bit me in the keister.

    I think you would have been proud, Kukri. Despite some bumbling around (and of course we were guilty of this as well), the Lions actually played a pretty spirited game throughout the afternoon, especially on the defensive side. By all rights, we should've lost this one too -- it was only via another set of last-minute heroics that we were able to pull a victory out of our nether-regions.

    Your offense -- like our own -- still definitely needs some work. But the Detroit defense played hard yesterday, and showed that they can shut down teams when they want to.

    Bad day for Dallas. Romo and the punter are out for an extended period of time.

    This is a serious injury! How is Romo going to cup Jessica's breast with a broken pinkie?

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
